How to Pop a Bottle of Champagne Utilizing a Knife Blade

If you were wondering how to crack a bottle of champagne with a kitchen knife, prepare for the drill, because we have several great tips just for this. First, we’re going to speak about setting everything you need opening the bottle the proper way. Next, we’re going to talk about popping the bottle in two ways, using your kitchen knife.

It’s OK if you try to crack the bottle while reading this, so go buy a few bottles of champagne to exercise with. You will probably open some really expensive champagne bottles with this technique so you'd better practice with at least four bottles. First, go buy a crate of really low-priced champagne brands, and a normal-sized kitchen knife. The knife doesn't have to be large, but it should have a thick blunt side. It works better if the bottles are chilled enough.

First step is taking out the protective foil, then we have two alternatives : to take off the wire cage, or to keep it on. If you keep the wire, you have to agitate the champagne bottle really well to produce pressure inside the bottle. If you remove the wire, it is fundamental to not agitate the bottle because the cork could come out when you won't be ready. If you're doing this for the first time, take the first option. It’s easier to crack and to exercise it. Take a piece of dry cloth and clean the bottle. Make sure it’s dry.

Find the line along the bottle. The line is where the two parts of the bottle join. Get the knife and place it on the seam. It must be with the dull side ahead. Put the blade at a small angle with the bottle. If the angle is too large, you’ll likely miss. When you’re prepared to try the first shot, hold the bottle in the left hand and with the other hand slide the kitchen knife hard with a quick and powerful blow until the bottle pops. Usually the tip of the bottle will break and fly with the cork. Consider the fact that each time you miss, the bottle shakes and the pressure increases, so direct the cork away at all times.

If you prefer not to take off the wire cage then you’re going to require a stronger blow. Use a wider knife. Napoleon’s officers used their swords to crack one of the most expensive champagne. If you have a sword or a spade, you’ll surely draw a lot of attention at your party. But for us, the usual people, just stick to a regular kitchen knife.

This should be enough to get you started. Grab several champagne bottles, choose thechampagne brands
carefully and start the drill. Practice makes perfect. We gave you the information, but it’s up to you to pop one of themost expensive champagne
bottles at your party using a plain kitchen knife.
